Can this sealer be used on stone. I craft sinks from stone and want to try silt stone.It's a little soft and the layers want to break apart and flake?

This sealer claims to prevent radon gas from penetrating through a sealed concrete surface. It did not mitigate the radon in my basement at all. I sincerely doubt this sealer will harden your silt stone and prevent it from breaking and flaking.

I used it on the floor and the cinder-block walls.I don't know if it provides a seal, because efflorescence comes right through. I used Behrs 'basement & masonry waterproofer' from Home Depot (in US). Tinted it to the light beige(from white) and I'm very happy with it on the basement walls now.

I would say yes. I just used it on some white brushed finished travertine. It penetrated well and left no haze. Since the marble has a matte finish, I think the sealer would perform in a similar way.

Not sure. I tried it on stone (travertine) & it didn't work @ all. Not a fan of the product.

Although milky when wet, it drys clear, so it should be OK, but try it first on a scrap to be sure its what you want. Be careful to use a thin layer to just cover the stone so you don't have excess bleeding around the edges when you press it into position; a toothpick works well to spread it.

I think for tumbled marble (or travertine) you should get a sealer that is formulated for extremely porous surfaces. I have seen that type of product in my local "Home Depot". Bulletproof sealer is primarily for a polished stone surface, NOT a porous surface. A friend of mine used the sealer for porous surfaces on his tumbled marble tile and it turned out beautifully, and gave the surface a nice sheen.

After several months and several different sealer applications by the installer, which did not prevent staining, we ourselves used Stonetech and it worked great. No problem installing on granite that had had multiple sealer treatments with different products. After 1 year, it still works great.

Personally, I would not use this on stone tile. The product says durable for wood surfaces both finished and unfinished. There must be another product out there for different surfaces. Try google. Hope this helps.

I agree with comments by Mike and Robert. My application this time was on travertine. I did a test of this product and 2 others on scrap cuts. After it cured, water on the piece with the porous plus beaded up like a freshly waxed car. Another trick I have used, but again test first on scrap, is to wipe over cured sealer with automotive Rain-X. Works great near sinks, and we do this in nearly all tile and stone showers. Good luck on your project.

I have 2 of these sinks now and had one prior to a kitchen remodel ... Different configurations but all black granite. There is no need to seal the sink. I use the same cleaner I use on my granite countertops ... Method for Granite or 409 for Granite. They are fantastic, durable and stay lovely

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

I am not sure if I would use it on marble. I don't know if I would use it on anything that is a flat surface you use every day (like floor, countertops, etc). We used it on the ceramic floor tile and regret this decission. The sealer started peeling off after just few weeks in the "high traffic" areas, while the edges are still shiny. That doesn't look good and we are planning on having the whole floor treated to get the sealer off. For any flat surface, I wouldn't recommend to use the high gloss sealer at all. Hope it helps.

HI Mark Concrete Sealer X-1 is only designed to work with concrete because it reacts with the free lime inside the concrete. With clay bricks there is no free lime for the Concrete Sealer X-1 to react with. However, it can be used to densify and harden the mortar between the bricks to stop them from dusting and to stop hydrostatic moisture as long as that is not coming through physical cracks (which it will not close). You would be best to apply two applications to the mortar lines with a thin brush. i would not recommend spraying it on the brick and mortar because it may create a white residue on the brick because it cannot react with it.

Hi Wendy, Yes. This is one of finest cleaning - related products you can use. So long as you clean the surface with a non-soap like cleaner (a little Borax with a similar amount of Baking soda ... very little experiment ... if you have a little white stuff after it dries, use a little less the next time), this sealer will work very well.

I don't really know the answer but my guess is its not meant to be used on a natural surface possibly due to porosity of the natural stone? The chemicals in the product are meant to be used on artificial surfaces. I tried it on granite too but decided to stick to products made for that purpose.

LastiSeal® Brick & Masonry Sealer would not be recommended for use on indoor travertine because it is normally polished smooth. However, outdoor travertine tends to have greater surface porosity and may accept the sealer without issue. Testing the product first would be recommended.

Following the package instructions, you should have no problem using this on natural stone. The issue of saltwater should not impact the efficacy of the product to repel water.

If it were me.... I would seal it after grouting, not before. I would research Stonetech Bulletproof and more than likely use that instead of 511 sealant. From my experience, the 511 works best on granite and marble.
